Catherine of Aragon

Edit
You are reading the page dedicated to the character as portrayed in Six the Musical. For the historical figure, see Catherine of Aragon.


Catherine of Aragon was Queen of England from June 1509 to May 1533 due to her marriage to King Henry VIII. She was his first wife and was married to him the longest. She was succeeded by Anne Boleyn in 1533. Inspired by Beyoncé and Shakira, she begins the competition in Six the Musical with her solo "No Way", where she expresses her distaste in Henry's wish to annul their marriage and sending her to nunnery despite her loyalty so he can pursue Anne Boleyn. She was played by Renée Lamb in the Studio Cast Recording, Adrianna Hicks in the Broadway Cast Recording, and Jarnéia Richard-Noel in the upcoming film.

Issue[]

    • Miscarried daughter (died 31 January 1510)
    • Henry, Duke of Cornwall (born 1 January 1511, died 22 February 1511, 7 weeks old)
    • Stillborn son (born/died 17 September 1513)
    • Stillborn son (born/died November/December 1514)
    • Mary I (born 18 February 1516, died 17 November 1558)
    • Stillborn daughter (born/died 10 November 1518)
  • Henry's reasoning behind getting a divorce from Catherine was because in the Bible it states a man cannot marry his brothers widow. Henry brought this to the church and said God was punishing him by not giving him a (male) heir to the throne.
  • Henry and Catherine's marriage was then annulled on 23 May 1533, after being married for 24 years.

Trivia[]

  • Catherine was raised to live in England and eventually become a queen consort by her parents from a young age.
  • As Catherine's mother was a female monarch herself, she wanted her daughters to have the best education possible, arranging for them to be taught lessons that were commonly taught only to princes, not princesses. As a result of this, Catherine was well educated in many subjects, including politics and religion, and was fluent in several languages.
  • Anne Boleyn served as Catherine's maid of honour.
  • Catherine was the godmother of Catherine Parr, and it is believed that her goddaughter was named after her.
    • Catherine Parr's mother, Maud Green, was a close friend and lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon.
  • Out of all of Henry's queens, he was most closely related to Catherine Parr and Catherine of Aragon.
  • Catherine ruled England as regent in 1513 while Henry was away at war with France. During her reign, she also won a victory against the invading Scottish army and sent a piece of King James of Scots' blood stained cloak to her husband after he was killed in the Battle of Flodden.
  • Henry's marriage to Catherine was the longest out of his six marriages, with the two having been married for nearly 24 years at the time of the divorce.
  • Catherine was the only one of Henry's wives that was older than him; she was born in 1485, while he was born in 1491, making her around six years older.
  • For swings and alternates that have two first covers, the role of Catherine of Aragon is most often paired with that of Anna of Cleves.
    • For swings and alternates that have three first covers, the previous pair with the addition of the role of Catherine Parr is the most common.
  • Over all, out of the four alternate costumes, the black costume and the pink costume are most associated with the role of Aragon; five out of the eight actresses cast as the black alternate have had Aragon as one of their intended first covers, while both of the actresses cast as the pink alternate have had the role as their first cover.
  • Grace Mouat, Ella Burns, Paisley Billings, Chiara Assetta, Grace Melville, Madeline Fansler, Cecilia Snow, Jana Glover, Jillian Worthing, Deirdre Dunkin, Giulia Marolda, Millie Readshaw, and Sierra Fermin all made their debut in the show as Aragon.
  • After her divorce from Henry, he refused to allow her any title but Dowager Princess of Wales (referring to how she was his brother's widow) until her death, despite Catherine believing herself to be England's only rightful queen.
  • In the musical, Catherine's 'queenspirations' were Beyoncé and Shakira.
  • In an Instagram story, Toby Marlow stated that if Six were to be made into a movie, he would like either Jennifer Lopez or Jessie J to play Catherine.[1]
  • She is the only queen with a recorded birth date.
